We know that honing in on a new home is a lot of work, particularly for those who are not as familiar with the varying and evolving characteristics of core Boston neighborhood. As we’ve worked with buyer clients over the years, we’ve searched for ways to break the city down into bite-sized chunks. The result is a discernibly dissected version of the core of the city that breaks into 23 much more digestible sub-neighborhoods. Once we had the boundaries of these 23 areas, we took the time to assign unique characteristics to each one. From there, we built a Boston neighborhood “personality” quiz that solicits each buyers’ preferences while letting a behind the scenes algorithm spit out a customized result for every homebuyer. No matter what set of traits are important to you, we suspect you’ll find one (or more) of our 23 sub-neighborhoods could work for you.

So, give it a shot! Answer the questions that follow and be sure to let us know your results. We can chat with you about each of these locations in much more depth to help you zero in on your own dream home!
